Product Description
There are masses of people just waiting to do business with you...once they are so inspired. Business is not just a transaction; it's an experience. People do more business with people and companies that engage them in the purchasing experience. When you attach meaning to the act of doing business with you, you stand out from the crowd. "World Famous" reveals what enormous possibilities await you once you put your energy into inspiring rather than selling, being authentic rather than trying to fit in, and working to engage the marketplace rather than focusing solely on your competitors. Tyreman guides the reader through a step-by-step process for becoming differentiated authentically by building a unique, kick-ass brand-identity. This book is filled with real-life stories and anecdotes. This inspiring book arms you with ways to command true loyalty just by being yourself...and attracting more attention to your business than ever before.

Introduction
The Obvious Choice
‘‘Success isn’t about being perceived as the best at what you do, it’s about being perceived as the only one who does what you do.’’
—JERRY GARCIA OF THE GRATEFUL DEAD
If I asked you, ‘‘Do you want your business to be World Famous?’’ you would probably say something like, ‘‘Hello! I bought the book. Of course I want my business to be World Famous!’’
I frequently speak in front of one thousand or more entrepreneurs, and all of them answer, ‘‘Yes!’’ when I ask that question. But that resounding affirmation is usually followed by the following statements:
‘‘I want to be the best!’’
‘‘I want to be number one!’’
‘‘I want to beat out my competition!’’
In all my travels and all my years of business, being ‘‘number one’’ has been the primary goal of the majority of the people I meet.
At one time, it was my goal, too—until I learned that there is something better than being number one. That’s right; there is a higher goal, a more rewarding goal, a goal that can be the difference between mediocrity and brilliance, between pennies and millions.
That goal is simply to stand out as the obvious choice, the only choice in the hearts and minds of your market.<
